Have you wanted some free mentoring support, but didn’t know where to look? Here is a good site and it’s free! MicroMentor is a terrific source for helping those that needs a boost without the hassles of having to hire someone. They cover all sorts of topics for business owners so there is a good possibility you will find a fit.

So, you’re ready to open the doors to attracting more clients – congratulations! This is an exciting time. But this is also the time that you really have to dig in and start doing the hard work of attracting new clients. This can be an easier process if you know how to go about it correctly.

People often know me as the guy who gets things done. Give me a deadline, and I often will meet it. I think of attracting clients in the same way. Often, things can get in the way, like our thoughts, and behaviors that prevent us from actually getting clients, but with concrete plans, steps, and strategies, we can overcome this. That is what I often teach to my clients. It’s all about taking the Attraction Approach.

Those of you who have worked with me know I add a healthy dose of behavior analysis to the mix. Often I try to speed up the process by uncovering and unblocking those habits, and behaviors that are stalling your progress. What this means is that you manifest quickly the important steps needed to move your life and business forward. Some might call it therapy, and others coaching, but I believe transformation goes way beyond the limits of therapy and coaching. I like to think of unearthing your deepest and most felt desires and manifesting them in reality. This not only takes some inner-work, but it also takes action in the real world. As healers, coaches and practitioners many of you already know the transformative power of masters you work with. Much of this power comes from your alignment of doing what you love and then taking action to be of service to the world with your gifts.

As far as my memory goes back, I can see that not only me, but my clients when aligned, attracted what they set out to do! It seems logical then when we say we are going to do something, and feel aligned physically, mentally and spiritually, that it comes to fruition. The key here is the alignment and congruency. Add the Law of Attraction and you got a good chemistry working for you. Let’s try this out with a few exercises. Below are some exercises that will stimulate your ability to attract new clients this year.

Grab a paper and pen. Get centered for a moment and find in your body where your truth resides. When you know you have reached it, write down your answers to these 7 questions:

Knowing I trust this deep part of myself, and allow myself to have what I want, how many new clients am I willing and able to attract this year?

Knowing that I’m real, genuine and authentically centered with myself, what are 5 manageable steps that I can take in the near future to attract these clients?

If I’m not 100% in alignment currently, what do I need to do to be fully congruent to commit to this goal, or what might be standing in my way that I need to clear?

Knowing I can do this, what 2 actions throughout the year will I take to remind me of my ability to achieve this?

Knowing I’m a person with emotion, what 2 emotions do I want to engage in this year that will support me to manifest my goal?

When I need support, who am I going to trust in to remind me of what I’m aligning to this year?

What is the one thing he/they will need to do or tell me that will keep me in alignment with my commitment to attract more clients this year?

“You got this,” said Jennifer Hudson when interviewed on her success. You really do!! Believing in yourself, having faith in attraction while taking action (that rather rhymed didn’t it?), equates to all you need to make attracting clients a reality.

If you looked over the exercise and didn’t do it, just noticed that and how that is impacting you. See if there is room for you to move towards what really matters to you and take a leap of faith towards it.

In closing – you have what it takes to make this work. I’ve seen it happen with my clients when they give themselves the opportunity. Let right now be a new beginning for you and those you serve.

Listening is the most crucial element in coaching as it paves the way to everything else. Listen for what is said, what is not said, and this will help you understand your client’s motivations and resistance to their own needs for transformation. Let your client do the talking and listen to what signals your body is telling you.

Hot Tip #2 – Ask Provocative Questions

Powerful questions gets to the heart of what a client wants to manifest beyond their business. My suggestion is to ask permission whether you can go a little deeperwith your questioning. This will support the client’s buy-in and trust to go to new places. Ask questions that support the deeper desires or make light of resistances that are being revealed in the conversation.

Hot Tip #3 – Don’t Be Afraid

Your clients hired you for a reason. Be brave and allow your insights to shine through. They want you to show them and lead them to their own answers. If you consult, then offer a great tip. You don’t serve anyone by playing small.

Hot Tip #4 – Have Some Structure

One of the most important things is to guide the call. Plan ahead a bit of structure so that you know where you might begin and where you would like to end. Having some structure also shows that you are professional and that you took the time to think about your client before the call. Have a written outline to support you in the conversation should you get off track.

Hot Tip #5 – Be Authentic and Grounded

Your client hired you because they liked your energy, your professionalism, your ability to help them, and/or your chutzpa! Whatever the reason, it’s important to trust your uniqueness and build relationship with them. Be yourself without given away yourself.

These 5 Tips can be a blessing when you are losing focus. Always be prepared before a call and then use what structure you have to support the depth and freedom within the call. Being more prepared is always better than being under prepared.

Are you spending all your time and energy making other people’s lives better at the expense of your own? Are you good at what you do, but suffer from lack of business training? Or, perhaps you don’t know how to attract more clients and feel uncertain about how to grow your business?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have all your ducks in a row, have a clear direction, and know how you are going to get there?

Well I might have a solution for you that can help you get the clarity, organization and focus that you have been looking for!

I work with coaches, holistic practitioners, and healers who want to make a difference in the world healing others, yet are often stuck, frustrated and overwhelmed with running a business.

Help me help you:

Get more clients

Be more organized

Have a greater focus

Establish and achieve more realistic goals

Get paid what you’re worth

Free up your schedule

Wouldn’t it be nice to finally say you know where you are going and how you are getting your next client so you can sleep at night?

Why wait any longer? I would like to offer you a 90 minute no-obligation Business Clarity Strategy Session.

In our session we will uncover what is getting in the way, create some structure around the chaos, and come up with a vision for where you are going next.

Douglas has all the positive and admirable qualities of being happy, enthusiastic, patient and centered, while still remaining real and human. The mix of Douglas’ compassion, understanding and profession…

Douglas rocks! His coaching is effective, honest and positive. He has reminded me to be true to myself. Working with Douglas has sharpened my inner focus and helped me to overcome personal obstacles that had been blocking necessary progress for far too long!

Douglas’s patience and flexibility has helped me integrate coaching into my busy life.

M. Sahakian

So many positive changes have been happening in my life at a lightning speed since we began our sessions only a couple of months ago. I’ve cleaned up much of the unresolved, intolerable, and messy things in my life, like old paperwork, bills, old agreements, poor money management style, clogged drain pipes, uncollected refunds, funky wardrobe, drab hair, etc. You’ve also helped me zero in on many of the beliefs and behaviors that were holding me back or shoving me around or just keeping me…

Douglas is a caring, supportive coach who listens with a keen ear for your own unique dreams and goals. His methods are sound and very worthwhile to anyone with a desire to Be more in life and accomplish what is most important for their lives and those they love. He’s also very funny.

G. NicolaSales Representative

Douglas has a great combination of big picture thinking and laser focus. He has helped me tune in to what’s really going on amidst my jumbled thinking and given me the space for unresolved emotions to surface and clear so that I could get into action more quickly than I could have if we hadn’t worked together!

M. XavierHealer

I mostly have just been wanting to say for a long time that I still think a lot about our sessions, and they continue to have a positive impact on my life. They continue to guide me in decision making, and I will always be grateful for the time we got to spend together.
